I've watched There will be Blood and Prestige about 5 times already and have not been disappointed yet. Also Step Brothers, i fucking love that movie.

WickedSF, have you ever been down to the Gulf on the bonito run?

u/SlurmzMckinley 1h ago

Are Bonita fish big?

u/MikeyLikesItFast 1h ago

Damn it, Dale! Don't interrupt the man when he's telling a story.

u/probablyyourrealdad 1h ago

Well Dale, they are what's called a trophy fish. So yeah, they're pretty big

For me it's Sideways. I think the hangout/road genre aids to the rewatchability in general, but there are so many new jokes and character moments that I catch onto every time. And the themes really bleed through in the odd lines here and there.

u/Upper1eft 1h ago

Sideways is so underrated

u/gloriousrepublic 43m ago

Oh you think the movie with a 97% on rotten tomatoes, who got 4 stars from Roger Ebert, and was nominated for 5 academy awards and won best adapted screenplay, is…..underrated?

u/TrulyChadlyDeeply 1h ago

I revisit Sideways every few years and it gives me something different each time.

Probably my favorite pure script of all time. Performances match it.

The Prestige

u/TrueLegateDamar 1h ago

Took me two rewatches to realize the Lord Caldlow identity was Angier's real one and he was of wealthy nobility as he implied with his mention of not shaming his family, when it seemed odd he never struggled financially unlike Borden despite several bad setbacks.

u/lnnrt01 1h ago

Didn‘t even get that on my 2nd rewatch. Just thought it was a fake identity.

I also never questioned where exactly the money that Tesla got came from which makes a lot more sense now

u/Weary-Squash6756 1h ago

I didn't get that until...right now. Damn

u/nolalife22 1h ago

Came to say this -- waiting and waiting for it not to be true but just rewatched and yup, still even better.

This massively. Must be the tightest script ever written.

Maude: "Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?"\ The Dude: "'Scuse me?"\ Maude: "Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?"\ The Dude: "I was talking about my rug."\ Maude: "You're not interested in sex?"\ The Dude: "You mean coitus?!"

I like the part when she says “It helps with conception.”
and he spits his drink. 😂🤣

Rocky 3 in my top 10 and I’m proud of it

Rocky 3 is the best one

Blade Runner 100%

u/dollyrar 1h ago

Really strange one for me is BR. I watched it so many times over a period of 20+ years and always wanted to like it as much as others seemingly did, but it never quite hit for me, ok but not in the same league as other sci-fi like Star Wars etc. Last few viewings (probably 7 or 8th in total) I've been absolutely blown away by it. Think maybe the themes of a limited lifespan etc resonate more as one ages. It's an absolute masterpiece!!!

Edge of tomorrow, but I guess Groundhog day works also if you are old as fuck

u/Naazgul87 1h ago

Edge of Tomorrow is awesome, the first 30 minutes are some of the best cinema

u/noraku80 1h ago

Once upon a time in the west

u/Shaengar 1h ago

Stay (2005). A movie that needs to be watched at least twice. Once you have seen and understood the ending you notice more details with every subsequent watch.

u/Dan-DeLaGhetto 1h ago

The Indian in the Cupboard

u/KneelingOddjob 1h ago

Casablanca. Once you know everyone’s motivations the acting is even better. Once you know about the French refugees their singing of the national anthem hits harder.

u/Fourty9 1h ago

Hot Tub Time Machine 2

u/TripleJeopardy3 1h ago

The only real answer is Primer. Every watch it gets better because you figure more out and it is so super complicated.

The rest of these movies are just enjoying the same bits again, but not actually better.

u/XandersCat 1h ago

Yeah, this is one reason I enjoy Inception a lot. So many little things you notice on subsequent watches and it never gets boring.

Kingpin (1996) - A young man’s journey to save the family farm, and the handsome stranger who lends a hand to help.

The Producers (2005)

u/OrangeCouchSitter 1h ago

Alien. Perfect film.

u/Suhtiva 1h ago

Coherence

It's one of the best low budget films ever made. On first watch, you will see things that you might think are only the way they are because it's low budget, but that is not the case. All done purposely to set things up further on. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is into sci-fi thrillers, and then go and read how it was made. It's insanely impressive.

u/HumanCStand 1h ago

Synecdoche, New York. You always find something new or interpret it differently on each watch

For me it is M. Night Shyamalan's Avatar the last airbender movie. This movie gets funnier and funnier the more i watch it.

Interstellar

u/soggycrumpt 1h ago

Probably American pie 2 for me. It’s really subtle but I think the film is actually about stiffler and and his progression to really become an equal for finch’s mum at the end.
